You didn't deserve my angry ranting at all, as anyone can see, and so I think I'll just say that the only fool here is me, and he's a public fool at that.

I chose these particular arguments because reading them, I felt that there was a potential for discussion. Both Jake and Kevin, in their posts, agreed to not liking certain aspects of Mr. Liefield's work ethic and professional decisions. Both agree that the man is likeable. The opposition is in a measure of degree. If I were truly interested in manufacturing opposition, I would not have linked back to both posts. Thank you for your comments, everyone.

Possibly also I'm a little bit stressed out today for other reasons, too. So. Not to be all Meeley about it or anything, but this particular Point/Counterpoint gave me a gripe. And also, face it, it is a little annoying how much Ye Olde rules. I suppose the language was a little strong. I'll go a little <i>mea culpa</i> on that. <i>Mea culpa</i>, Melissa. Time will tell if my gripe was mostly motivated by stress, but the language was certainly uncalled-for, and so you've got my apology. Ooooh, I hate overcommitting to some angry gesture and then having to take it back because I was in the wrong! That smarts! Damn! Answering Comment #4:

You go, Jake!

This is the Colbert Report.

I want to know what strong language was leveled at me! Was it pointing out just how strongly Ye Olde rules? Incidentally, the "but" was following my observation that as a symbol of everything wrong with comics in the 1990's I have to hate Liefeld. I stand by that and wouldn't buy Onslaught Reborn with YOUR money, much less my own. In fact, I'd dare to say Kevin and I aren't really on opposite sides of this argument. We both think Liefeld is charming and comes off as a nice guy who is enthusiastic about and dedicated to turning out high quality comics, though his history and reputation have proven otherwise time and time again. Liefeld is to comic book editors what chatroom predators are to 14-year-olds. Hey, what was the previous comment from plok? I want to know what strong language was leveled at me!

That "but" at the beginning of Jake's looms rather large, doesn't it? In my previous reply, I used some strong language. Neither Jake nor Kevin will likely thank me for it. I stand by it, regardless.
